The great games

With the fate of the Earth at stake, he will have to traverse diabolical mazes, fight cruel assassins and face unimaginable horrors that will test him like he has never been tested before.

To Hell and back

In the process, he will discover the mysterious and powerful group of individuals behind it all: the four legendary kingdoms.

He might a,so discover that he is not the only hero in this place...

My review

I squealed with delight when I opened one of my emails from Pan MacMillian that gave me the opportunity to review The Four Legendary Kingdoms. I just love Matthew Reilly's Jack West Jr series. My youngest sister actually got me hooked on the books way back in 2009. This was right before The Five Greatest Warriors came out, when I was pregnant with my daughter and was bed bound for the last four months, so it's been a long time between books and I had forgotten what had happened previously, as I've read so many books since. So I did a quick flip through of the previous books and got all caught up and patiently waited for my copy to arrive. The excitement I displayed when I recieved it made my husband laugh and upon telling my sister that I had it, made her very jealous. I sneakily took some snap chats while reading to tease her of what was happening, as I had recieved it before it came out.

Of course Matthew Reilly did not let us down and The Four Legendary Kingdoms was brilliant and the best book in the series so far because of one character, a new character to me... Shane Schofield, call sign: Scarecrow. I must admit I have never read the Scarecrow series by Matthew Reilly. I have them sitting in my bookshelf to read but I have just never gotten around to them, which means that I have never really met Scarecrow before. But I certainly know him now and can't wait to devour the books in his serious. As with all of the other books in the series, The Four Legendary Kingdoms has so much action packed adventure and shocks, twists and turns throughout. There were so many moments throughout where I was yelling at the book and cursing the author saying that no you can't do that to that character or it can't end like that. Of course I never wanted it to end but unfortunately it did and I can't wait for more books in the series.

Rating:5/5

I was lucky enough to be contacted by a representative from Bloomsbury who asked if I would like to review Caramel Hearts by E.R. Murray and also interview her as well. Like all bloggers I jumped at the chance. I couldn't believe when the author actually contacted me herself and I dealt with her personally. It was a great honour to read her book and interview her. E.R Murray was very easy to communicate with and I hope there will be more opportunities to help her with future books.

Q&A What inspired you to write Caramel Hearts? Timing had a part to play; I wrote Caramel Hearts when my first book, The Book of Learning – Nine Lives Trilogy 1 went on submission to publishers; that book is an urban fantasy set in Ireland and I wanted to write something different after spending two years with those characters. I also wanted to look at the effects of addiction on a family unit, and explore a protagonist from a poor background – lower classes are still under-represented in young adult f…

I was lucky enough tobe approached by Allen and Unwin to be apart of this amazing blog tour. I Seriously can't thank them enough for this amazing opportunity (even if my post is a little late).
